WALL — The FBI turned up the heat today on a New Jersey man being sought nationwide for the death of his 2-year-old daughter, whose body was found in a park creek, still strapped into her car seat.

The agency issued a crime alert for the arrest of Arthur Morgan III on a murder charge in the death of 2-year-old Tierra Morgan-Glover. The FBI listed the crime on its website as the "Case of The Week," and urged anyone who sees Morgan to contact authorities.

"On November 22, 2011, the body of a two-year-old child, still strapped in her car seat, was found partially submerged in a stream in Shark River Park in Monmouth County, New Jersey," the alert read. "The stream runs beneath an overpass, suggesting that the child and the car seat were thrown from the overpass."

Special Agent Bryan Travers, spokesman for the FBI, said Morgan boarded a bus to Richmond, Va. at Newark Penn Station on Nov. 21.

"We have reports of him being seen in several places," he said, adding that authorities have yet to confirm any of the reports.

Morgan was supposed to have returned his daughter to the girl's mother, Imani Benton of Lakehurst, following a court-ordered visitation. When he failed to do so, she contacted police, and he was charged in Ocean County with endangering the welfare of a child and interference with child custody.

The girl's body was found shortly afterward by children playing in the park.

The following day, Morgan was charged in a state court with murder, and in federal court with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The FBI says he has ties to Texas and California; transit-related police departments across the country have been alerted to look for him. He was last seen in New Jersey on Nov. 21 on a train station platform in Asbury Park, not far from the park where his daughter's body was discovered.

Her cause of death was listed as "homicidal violence, including submersion in water."

She was buried on Monday.

According to the FBI, Morgan has a tattoo on his left hand, and on both arms. He is 5'6" to 5'8" tall, weighing about 165 pounds. His head is shaved.

He has been known to use aliases including Arthur E. Morgan, Arthur Glovermorgan, Arthur Glover, Eugene Rossi, and Arthur Eugene Morgan.
